http://www.mayfieldschools.org/exceltecc/webtecc/excel_tecc.htm THE STORY OF
SWEENEY TODD, THE MUSICAL When Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd opened on
Broadway in 1979, it became an instant hit and later walked away with that
year's Tony award—Broadway's highest honor. The play joyfully tells the
shocking story of Benjamin Barker, aka, Sweeney Todd, the vengeful English
barber and his accommodating landlady. The brilliant musical play follows
Sweeney as he plots his revenge against Judge Turpin, who sent him to prison on
false charges—an act which causes the destruction of Sweeney's family. As
Sweeney's revenge plot accidentally broadens to include other citizens of the
corrupt society of Victorian London, his landlady, Mrs. Lovett, finds a way to
cover up the barber's crimes as well as her own by making delicious meat pies of
the barber’s victims! Through this darkly comic story, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh
Wheeler explore the passion for and consequences of revenge. Attend the tale
of Sweeney Todd…. The last weekend in October… Halloween!
